Present to the Season: Autumn {poetry prompt}

Staying present means living in the season that encompasses my life. Where I am living right now it is the season of Autumn. It speaks boldly of endings and subtly of beginnings. It speaks of retreating, but it also speaks of promise. It speaks of the temporary- the changeableness of the world around me. It speaks of the eternal- the faithfulness of the circle of seasons. In all things, it speaks of the Presence of the divine.

Prompt: Be the student of nature today. What does she teach you about seasons? About change? Write a description poem of the season of Autumn, through your own senses.
